The Real SS/FG riders

With all this talk and threads about hipsters, poseurs and jackass fixies of the day, I wondered if there were any "real" people that rode at all. I ride a roadie most of the time and am quite aware of all the poseurs in that genre. In this forum, we've devoted thousands of pages to wanna-be riders but scant little attention to the real riders.

i kinda dig how OP went the route of confusing us by making as little sense as possible.

good work, broseph.

I use the ImageZoom extension for Firefox to fix the obnoxiously large images that pop up here on the forums. After you install it, you can resize and zoom in/out of any image easily. Just hold the right mouse button down with the cursor over the image and press the left mouse button to make the image fit the browser window, scroll with the wheel to zoom in/out in small increments or click the middle button to restore the image to the original size.
